Chapter 1355 Skeleton Trooper Diak (Part 2)
"Can I see?"
Since arriving at the camp here, knowing that Zhou Xu had something urgent to deal with, Yalvette found a place for her to rest. In addition, she was not wearing her golden armor, so her presence was not high. Before that, Woking didn't even know that there was a female warrior queen in front of him.
As the test progressed, Yalvette could tell at a glance that the skeleton cavalry in front of her were different from ordinary skeleton soldiers, which prompted her to ask a question.
Zhou Xu didn't care about this.
"Just watch."
Hearing this, a smile flashed in Yalvette's eyes.
But he didn't say anything more and just watched quietly.
Afterwards, Zhou Xu conducted various tests and basically confirmed that Diak had the same amount of knowledge as he did in his lifetime, but his consciousness was now rather chaotic, which made it difficult for him to understand things that were too complicated, and some of his reactions were also rather slow.
Zhou Xu couldn't make any guarantees at the moment as to whether this problem could be improved in the future. He could only wait and see.
In addition, Diak, who was transformed into a Skeleton Knight, is fully capable of performing certain tasks independently.
The prerequisite is that he successfully understands the content of the task. If he cannot understand it, he is likely to fall into confusion and not know what to do.
At the same time, from this point, Zhou Xu can basically confirm that there should be no distance bond between him and Diak.
Theoretically, he could even let Diak stay in Copperforge to cooperate with Drogo and the others and perform garrison missions all year round, while he himself would return to Blackmoon City.
After this round of testing, everyone including Zhou Xu has a deeper understanding of Diac today.
"Then next is the test of combat effectiveness."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu's gaze fell on Drogo.
"Drogo, you will be Diak's opponent."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu signaled them to change to wooden sticks as testing weapons and they could begin.
As for Diack, he had nothing to explain.
Currently, Drogo's strength is at Bronze Three Stars in the Hundred Refinements Realm, while Diak has already fallen below the Hundred Refinements Realm. With such a big realm gap, Diak can just fight with all his strength and it is almost impossible for him to hurt Drogo.
Diak, who understood the meaning of "battle", was not slow to react when he took action. He rushed forward with the wooden stick in his hand and hit Drogo directly.
His speed surprised most of the Centaur cavalry present.
Obviously they did not expect that Diak could still display such amazing strength after being transformed into a skeleton cavalry.
In contrast, Zhou Xu and even Joseph and the others reacted much calmer.
Although his strength has declined, the strength of Diak's bones is still at the level of a warrior in the Hundred Refinements Realm. He is not someone that an ordinary Centaur cavalry can easily touch.
If he were placed among a group of ordinary soldiers, his efficiency in killing people would not necessarily be lower than that of a normal warrior in the Hundred Refinements Realm.
In fact, considering a series of factors such as the fact that skeleton units can ignore attacks and are not affected by physical strength, their efficiency may be higher than that of ordinary warriors in the Hundred Refinements Realm.
To be honest, Diak's attack was much more ferocious than Drogo had expected. From the realm level, he could not be treated as an ordinary warrior. His current state was more like a half-step to the Hundred Refining Realm.
Of course, in front of him, a real Bronze Three Stars warrior in the Hundred Refining Realm, this level of strength is still not enough.
To put it bluntly, Diak could not beat him when he was alive, and now that he has become a skeleton cavalryman with reduced strength, it is even less likely that he can be his opponent.
Drogo parried calmly throughout the whole process, and occasionally made a move to test Diak's current reaction and parrying ability.
Obviously, he is well aware of his current responsibilities.
The focus of this wave is to see how Diack performs.
Joseph and Jack were very excited watching Diak's every move.
They were more familiar with Diack's fighting style than Drogo, which made them more certain that the skeleton cavalry was really Diack!
After transforming into skeleton cavalry, with the decrease in flexibility, all moves that focus on technical skills are obviously frustrated. Fortunately, the fighting style of the Centaur cavalry is still mainly based on charging and killing on the battlefield and making large-scale attacks.
Therefore, this aspect does not have much impact on Diac.
However, Diak's current combat mode obviously lacks change, and he acts purely based on his own combat instincts.
As a result, after a few rounds, Drogo had figured out his fighting style.
If this pattern continues, there will be little point in continuing this battle.
Thinking of this, Drogo stabbed out with his stick, breaking Diak's attack and hitting his shoulder joint. The powerful blow directly knocked the part of Diak's skeleton arm connected to the shoulder joint away.
This made Joseph, who was standing next to him, feel nervous. He completely forgot that this was nothing to the skeleton soldiers and he subconsciously rushed forward.
Fortunately, Jack, who was standing next to him, was quick-witted and grabbed him.
And at this moment, something happened that was beyond everyone's expectations.
I saw the soul fire surging inside Diak's skeleton chest, as if he was making a silent roar.
As the skeleton arm was thrown into the air, the surging soul fire suddenly gushed out from the broken end and directly pulled the flying skeleton arm back!
This scene shocked Zhou Xu.
"How could you achieve this?"
Normal skeleton soldiers have no self-repair ability at all, but Diak in front of him has done it!
[Does this mean that normal undead units have the ability to self-repair before their own power is exhausted? ]
This ability has strategic value in terms of troop confrontation! Through this move, Diak seemed to gradually realize something, and his entire fighting style became more ferocious.
If the previous combat mode was his combat instinct during his lifetime, it completely ignored the fact that he had now been transformed into a skeleton cavalryman.
At this moment, he finally realized that he didn't need to pay so much attention to his own safety!
The increase in intensity also put a bit of pressure on Drogo.
Of course, that’s all.
At this stage, the gap in strength between the two sides is still too big. Even if they give up defense and put all their efforts into attack, it will be difficult to break through Drogo's defense.
During this process, Drogo did not need to counterattack with offense, but could suppress Diak with a direct counterattack with defense.
"Okay, that's enough!"
As Zhou Xu spoke, Diak, who received the order, stopped his attack on the spot without caring about the counterattack that Drogo might not be able to stop.
Fortunately, Drogo's reaction was quick, allowing the entire test to be completed smoothly.
Walking in front of Diak, at this moment, even with his naked eyes, Zhou Xu could see that the soul fire in Diak's body was much weaker than before.
In order to further confirm it, Zhou Xu directly enveloped Diak with his perception.
This also made Zhou Xu completely confirm that the energy in Diak's body had weakened.
Compared to the beginning, it has now been reduced by at least one third!
This is undoubtedly the issue that Zhou Xu is most concerned about now, that is, how to restore Diak's energy. If the energy is exhausted, what will happen to Diak? (End of this chapter)
